Looks like some late arriving cold to me. Pass

Still pretty incredible that a map like this could even happen. I’ve seen some great 384hr snowstorms that weren’t this good

@Tarheel1 how much rain fell before the snow started to fall at your house? At least TR got a foot ?☹️

Any thing on models past 2-3 days is not gonna happen. Funny gets colder some say for early summer. Well eventually if one says it gonna get colder. It will right? When did it start October that this winter is going to be cold? We can’t trust models so why trust anything but looking out our own windows.

I was literally rain until noon Saturday. Was living in Gastonia at the time! Switch over was quick after that, but accums were less than an inch, all hype, no go there! Friday night sleet mixed in for about an hour, I thought it was game on, but it was simply game over! ?

Nashville missed that one, but got about 1.5 from the surprise event on March 11, 2 years ago

It’s funny because I missed the snow Nashville and places west got in 2017. The moisture just didn’t come over my area with that one from 2017. I believe some spots in west Tennessee received 3-4 inches that of course was gone by evening.

80 mph winds reported near the airport, so yeah to say the least. Tornado sirens were apparently pretty widespread after that report

Blew the roof off the Amazon warehouse

I live further east and the winds were much lower here

doubtful, the extreme winds were very limited in scope honestly, just happened over a very populated area

I wouldn't be surprised if some weak tornadoes are found too

The line itself otherwise was barely severe for the most part

The text only had winds up to 65 mph before that so I think even the forecasters were probably surprised

Color tagging can only be done by a moderator or admin, so I'll update those.

This from the overly cold biased FV3..... thank goodness, it's ova, nail in coffin, finished, finito, done, concluded, that's a wrap and good riddance. Bring on Spring please and all the pollen and stinging insects that come with it.

How was it in Arlington ? My son lives there.
 
Important reminder: Weeklies out this evening and will like on Monday be an hour later due to DST. So, don't panic if you don't see them by 6 PM ET.
Is winter over? Let's see what the weeklies tell us.

Any tips on starting a garden? I'm looking to plant stuff like basil, tomatoes, etc.

Got to put in a lot of work. Getting soil ready, fighting off bugs and disease. I consider myself a decent gardener, and I struggle with tomatoes every year. Then the hornworms get em! Hot peppers grow well, bell peppers not so much! You just about can’t kill basil, just have well drained soil. Grew cucumbers for the first time last year, they were very successful! Keep good water on stuff from a drip hose, water splashing up on tomatoes and stuff, from overhead watering,is bad. Keep everything fertilized well. If you don’t soil test, just use 10-10-10 fertilizer

It never even existed... like an imaginary friend or enemy... NEVER LIVED TO START WITH
 
If you're mad at somebody enough to cuss them, but don't want to get in trouble for using profanity in public, just replace F you with:
"Dry slot you!"

If there's a chicken farm nearby you have access to the best fertilizer in the world.

I'm starting to wonder if I just got myself into a point where I'm physically harming myself and not really knowing it. I got addicted to rubbing the ear flap to itch years ago, and it's gotten to the point over the last year where I do it vigorously and it stops up the ear, but I can't stop doing it. And now for some reason I got into using stethoscope earbuds to itch those ears.

I've gotten into a bad, freaking habit. I was hoping that THIS time I got my ears flushed out would be the last, but it probably won't be now. I feel like I need an ENT and a psychiatrist. And it hasn't been a week since I last got them flushed out!

Vent over.

I hope it's not harmful, because I've been doing the same thing. :eek:
 
This severe weather for Dixie Alley has already been something else this spring. We have had 4 threats the past 3 weeks, with 2 of them producing several tornadoes. Feels like we already have more tornadoes rn that all of last year.

And if the FV3 is any bit right per the latest run, add 2 to that the next 2 weeks. Same system looks with strong lows crossing through MO and large strong fronts with heat. The GFS looks close to this too but not as strong.
 
Looking forward to a week's worth of near perfect walking wx starting tomorrow with very little or no rain, below normal temps of highs of 60s to near 70, lows in the 40s, and dewpoints 40s and lower. I LOVE +PNAs! :)

11 years ago Atlanta go hit by an EF2 Tornado in the middle of the SEC Basketball tournament. WSB put out a article about it..

Yeah, ESPN has an outstanding SEC Storied called Miracle 3 about that night. Alabama was trailing Miss St by 3 points with seconds to play when Mykal Riley literally threw up a Miracle 3 pointer to tie the game and send it to overtime. Authorities truly believe by extending the game it prevented thousands of people from leaving the Georgia Dome and walking out into the Tornado and debris. Probably prevented countless injuries and maybe deaths. Great show if you can catch it. They aired it again earlier this week.

Ironically, at the end of OT, after a long delay due to the storm and some damage to the Dome, Mikal missed a wide open 3 pointer to win the game.
